4Death Road, Bolivia

One of the most dangerous roads in the world, North Yungas Road, is 43 miles long and reaches elevations of 2,000 feet in some sections. Driving on North Yungas Road is a heart-stopping experience, with its lack of guardrails adding to its menace.

Fatal vehicle and cycle accidents are as common on the road as going off the road’s edge. Each year, 300 people lose their lives on North Yungas Road, earning it the dreadful nickname “Death Road.” If you see wooden crosses along the route, they honor those who perished.
